Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls is the big clash on Thursday night in the NBA with the Thunder still looking to get into their stride early on this season. Tip off is scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream via the link below.

The game takes place at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois and should be an intriguing match up.

The Thunder would ordinarily be extremely confident coming into this type of match up, but their early season form has been patchy. They have not been able to maintain any level of consistency, and their star players such as Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have at times seemed absent from the court. However, when they have played well they have performed and been a joy to watch.

However, that inconsistency is reflected in the Thunder's record so far coming into this game. They are 2-2 after four games of their regular season, and will be desperate to string a run of wins together to steady the ship.

So far the Thunder are also 0-1 when playing on the road, and they will hope their journey to Chicago can gain them their first away win this season.

The Thunder have beaten the Portland Trail Blazers and the Toronto Raptors this season, however, those wins have been undermined by losses to the San Antonio Spurs and the Atlanta Hawks.

Meanwhile the Bulls have performed admirably without their leader Derrick Rose, who is out recovering from a torn ACL. Chicago have won three and lost one of their opening four games of the regular season. At home they are 2-1, and have beaten the Sacramento Kings, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic. So far they have only lost to the New Orleans Hornets.
